The Outlands are a vast wasteland in the Tron system that are located outside the boundaries of the Grid. The area has a craggy, treacherous terrain full of sheer rock walls and deep ravines.

According to Quorra, very few programs venture into the Outlands, save for those few desperate enough to attempt to escape Clu's grasp.

Kevin Flynn fled into the Outlands after Clu's coup d'etat in 1989 and established a safehouse there. Tron, also in seclusion, stayed in a safehouse of his own to resist capture from Clu's forces. An ISO faction also established the Bostrum Colony in the Outlands.
